Melissa Etheridge will 'forever be grateful' to the late David Crosby, who was the sperm donor for her children Bailey and Beckett.
Musician Melissa Etheridge has revealed the real reason why Brat Pitt wasn’t the sperm donor for her kids.
“He was a friend of mine a long time ago. People would say, who is Brad Pitt to you? And I’d say, ‘Well, he’s the father of my children’ or something. I would joke around,” Etheridge, 63, told the Post while promoting her new documentary “Melissa Etheridge: I’m Not Broken,” . “When Brad Pitt was younger, it was always clear that he wanted children. He loved children. He would come over and actually play with my kids,” the “Ain’t It Heavy” singer added. Etheridge had son Beckett and daughter Bailey Jean, 27, with her ex partner, Julie Cypher, and she also had twins Johnnie Rose and Miller Steven, 17, with her ex partner, Tammy Lynn Michaels. “They had just had help having their son, and they appreciated that. They wanted to pay it forward,” said Etheridge.
“He did not need to be ,” she added about Crosby. “And that’s what really made it clear for me, was that he was willing to say, ‘Yeah, I was the biological father.’ And my kids call him bio dad, so he’s the biological father, but they didn’t need a relationship with him.”, the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young founder said, “Was there any hesitation in my mind about trying to help them? No. None. The truth is, I probably shouldn’t say this, but I don’t even think it should be a big deal.
“I just knew I didn’t want someone to be a donor that wanted to be a father, because they would want to be in their lives – I wanted to be the other parent, you know?” Etheridge told The Post. She joked that her kids used to indignantly ask why it couldn’t have been Pitt. Pitt, who was married to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005, now shares six kids with ex-wife Angelina Jolie: Maddox, 22, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, Pax, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15.
